It is becoming increasingly fatiguing to read Sholeh Patrick’s unceasing glorification and defense of the Islamic religion. However, she remains a protected paid writer with no “opinion” caveat mark on her columns as is ascribed to the rest of us. This fact (non-opinionated marking) seems to be the Hagadone Corporation’s complicit allowance of its paper to be used as a propaganda tool for this infidel religion.

In the past I have submitted rebuttals to Patrick’s propaganda containing excerpts from the Quran, however, they were never published. It’s highly suspect that they will never be published, however the enlightenment of minds that Patrick may be poisoning make it a worthy endeavor yet again. Here they are; Quran, sura 9, verse 123, Allah orders the faithful (the Muslims) to fight the unbelievers, “and slay them wherever ye catch them” (2:191). “Truly God loves those who fight in His Cause in battle array…” (61:4). “When we decide to destroy a population, we send a definite order to them who have the good things in life and yet transgress; so that the word is proved true against them: then we destroy them utterly.” (17:16-17) “[The believers] fight in His cause, and slay and are slain.” (9:111) “O you who believe! Fight those of the unbelievers who are near to you and let them find in you hardness.” (9:123). The Muslim text, Tabari 9:69 reads thus “Killing Unbelievers is a small matter to us.”

A religion of peace you say? Please include the full definition of Jihad next time you publish for your unsuspecting readers.

I challenge Patrick to preach her human rights/mutual understanding BS in view of the real facts which she consistently suppresses.
